What is forestry mulching and why would I want to do it?
Mulching, or forestry mulching, is the process of converting leftover brush, trees and heavy branches into a biodegradable, organic and highly beneficial layer of ground covering. A forestry mulcher is a specialized commercial machine capable of mulching (grinding) entire standing or downed trees and vegetation leaving the grindings as a "mat" on the forest floor. The “mat” that’s left behind is an excellent way to help prevent noxious weeds from appearing, adds vital nutrients to the surrounding “keeper” trees and aids in overall soil structure value. We can efficiently clear land at costs up to half that of hand cutting methods with no hauling or burning that would result from conventional clearing. By using a forestry mulcher, there are less steps involved in the land clearing process including site prep, cutting, felling, hauling the material and site clean-up. Since the forestry mulcher is capable of handling many jobs, it eliminates the need for a bulldozer, excavator, tree shearer, wood chipper/grinder and transport vehicles. GenWal Farm Services will leave behind a mulched surface that is both beautiful and functional for your family to enjoy all while adding value to your property. We believe in the benefits of nature, only aiding in the process of potential growth, health and management.
